Day 10

Sorry I'm a bit late folks. I drove up to Tulsa for my Vanessa-friend's bridal shower this weekend, and didn't have time to post. But I did do my hair. So here you are:

Day 10: Curly

I did this with a curling iron, but there a million ways to curl your hair. You can use hot rollers, a flat iron, even roll it up in socks and sleep in it. 

On another note, here's a picture of me and Vanessa:

Vanessa and I met in the first grade and have been best friends ever since! She is getting married, and I am so excited!!

Day 9

Beachy Waves

This is pretty easy stuff, folks. I washed my hair today, so it was a bit damp. I used some spray wax (Redken Wax Blast 10 is magic) and braided it while it dried. If you don't have time for that, you can always braid it, run a flat iron over the braid, and call it a day!

Day 8

Low Side Pony

This is another easy one, but it can be really versatile. You can curl it, wear a headband or flower, even wrap a strip of hair around the hair tie.

Day 7

Oh yeah. I broke out the crimper.
When I decided to do this challenge, this is one of the first styles that popped into my head. You know I love the 80s.

I reached into the deep dark recesses of my hair cabinet, and pulled out my crimper. If you don't know what a crimper is, google it. Sometimes they are called "mini wavers" these days. Apparently, the word "crimper" has bad connotations, bringing back bad memories of acid wash, gag me with a spoon, and this scene:

It took forever, because my crimper is ancient and took 30 minutes to heat up.

I can't wait for Brandon to come home, because nothing strums a man's heartstrings more than a fully crimped head.

Rad.

On another note, Margot is cute:

I'll slither up to you, you can be my lion cub

This is the best thing I've seen all day.



I'm not going to lie, I bought it on iTunes.

Day 6

I really have no idea what to call this one. 

I used to do my hair like this all the time when it was shorter, it's a little more difficult when it's long. 

I ran a flat iron through the ends to make them all go the same way. Then I pulled the top up and backcombed it till it stood up on it's own, and sprayed sprayed sprayed. Then I smoothed the top back a bit, fixed the weirdy hairs, and pinned the sides back. Then I sprayed some more. 

Here's Portia, and you can't see her, but Margot is sitting on my feet in this picture. Silly little helpers.

Day 5

Headband:

Again, pretty easy.  I backcombed the crown and stuck a headband in it. 

Portia's cute, huh?
